Anniversary wine! Classic Nuit! Secondary characteristics starting to develop but still very fresh. Forest floor, dark fruits, a bit vegetal. Very layered. — a month ago

One of my favorite wines we get almost nothing of. Pure class in 23. Gorgeous, floral aromas, black cherry, hint of reduction, limestone galore. The palate is young but with extraordinary fruit. Pure. Zero hard edges and really energetic. Acid is on point. Such sweet fruit developing with air. So sappy and dense. Unreal. Wow. Nose now confectionary blackberry and black raspberry. Fun Dip powders. And the stick kind of. Palate gets elegant with such fruit authority. Unbelievably delicious. But has a decade plus and will benefit greatly. — 3 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of several hours. The 2017 “Les Saint Georges” pours a deep ruby color with a translucent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with gorgeous notes of raspberry, strawberry, cranberry, pomegranate, red flowers, sous bois, mushroom, and exotic spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. The nose alone is worthy of songs. Drink now through 2037. — 22 days ago

This is showing very well. Very 15, sunshine, gorgeous earthy ledy funk. Truffle developing. Just gorgeous nose. Mint. The mint is insane. Just ridiculous. Palate is full and rich, with opulent fruit and sweet, elegant tannins that pump fruit on the long finish. Very elegant and detailed. A tiny bit of heat but let’s see what air does. Heat gone on day 2. Mouth filling and gorgeous. So supple and classy. — 2 months ago
